Can I pull out my dissolvable stitch that is hanging out of my skin? (Photo)

Asked By:Brianj in Mesa, AZ

I had a lipoma removed 4 weeks ago and have since healed. I saw what I thought was dry skin on the incision and pulled it. It was a dissolve able stitch and it is hanging about a quarter inch out. Should I go back to my doctor or can I just pull it out?
